The new empires ruleset is available for freeciv 2.5.

Implementing the events by Lua script is a major change.
Some wonder calls a event function.
For example, the Great Mosque of Samarra offers the Gold
if Persian has finished a researching.

Hey taka, awesome work- my National traits mod is similar, I will probably try to pull some parts of this work forward into 2.6 and 3.0+. Our unique buildings and the names of some traits, for example, are going to overlap. Thanks for the inspiration!
